Fundraisers
The following are the fundraisers we will promote this year:
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION (ALL YEAR)
Just by logging your purchases of items with these labels, we can earn money for our school. Our campus can earn several hundred dollars each year without much effort. General Mills stopped the collection of physical box tops several years ago in favor of an app-led fundraising model. You may download the app and set your school to Natomas Charter School PACT Academy to earn money for our program.
VENDING MACHINE (ALL YEAR)
PACT has a vending machine to enable us to have healthy snacks available for our students and families. It is located in the Family Lounge. The vending machine is filled by parent donations (see this list for items approved for our school vending machine) and thus 100% of the sales are profit. We use the funds to purchase workshop supplies and to support community-building endeavors. We are also adding some school supply items to the vending machine this year to expand options for students and families.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
Each year, we host a Scholastic Book Fair where students and families can purchase books and other items. A portion of the profits are given to PACT for workshop supplies, field trips, and other expenses.
PAPER PIE (USBORNE) BOOK FAIR
Each year, we host a book fair through Paper Pie (formerly Usborne) where students and families can purchase books and other items. A portion of the profits are given to PACT for workshop supplies, field trips, and other expenses or used to purchase new books for our library.
PACT STUDENT EXHIBITION & SILENT AUCTION (MAY)
Held in May, this is the biggest fundraiser of the year for PACT and is a "fun-raiser"! It is a time we come together to showcase our students achievements throughout the year as we hold an auction with both adult and children items to bid on. Our silent auction and raffle earnings support classes, technology, and curriculum. We are hoping to bring back this fundraising event for the current school year!
